I think people should, in general, choose not to have abortions

380. I'm not a fan of abortion either. Birth control solves the issue before it starts

There is a line when fetus ain't just a fetus.
When women have complications that can endanger their health & they have to abort, nobody should have a problem about that.
But the ONE thing the anti-abortion folks got right is that they don't want life to become cheap.
Problem with those guys is they seem to only care for the fetus. They don't seem to value life once it comes outside of the womb.
Sort of like kids with puppies who don't quite seem to give the same attention to them when they're full grown dogs.

Some lady with no health endangerment issues gets up to 9 months just before delivery & then says she wants to abort.
The woman has 100% control of the decision.
But which doctor really wants to abort a baby at that stage?
That's why they put time limits on the thing except in case of health endangerment.
If it's wide open like that, it COULD lead to a slippery slope where women have the possibility of aborting a baby just before the due date.

Everybody shutting down the the topic starter, el_bryanto, forgets that there ARE 2 lives involved.
It's not just the mother. It's the baby-to-be-born TOO.
And making life & death decisions like this should not be taken lightly.
It's the same reason why the Death Penalty needs rethinking.
Same reason why societies discourage suicides.

el_bryanto is not gonna stop Roe vs. Wade by making a post on a forum.
Nobody wants to go back to the bad old days where women aborted babies unsafely in secret locations.
Abortion should be monitored & regulated like it is today to protect the safety of the mothers.

But just because people understand that the legal rights should be intact doesn't mean they really LIKE abortion morally.

Me? I say sidestep the entire issue altogether & go with birth control so a baby can't be formed in the first place.
Birth control brings other problems but I would rather deal with those problems over abortion issues.
One day they'll figure out male birth control & you probably won't have to worry about either one of these issues anymore.

This man is speaking from the perspective of a baby that could have been aborted.
He was glad his mother decided against abortion even if he supports her choice to do it.
No need to villify the dude. Nobody's taking your abortion rights away for goodness sake!
